This Study iu United States History is intended 
to suggest to the student in preparation every rea- 
sonable form, matter, or extent of questions that 
pertain to an examination in United States His- 
tory. A very large part of them can be directly 
answered from a study of my '^Elements of United 
States History/' but the General Review is formed 
from "topics," and requires more knowledge and 
reading than can be provided in an abstract of the 
subject. 

The means for such information as is there sug- 
gested are very generally accessible to all persons 
in this country.
